FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to novel compounds that inhibit receptor interacting protein kinases and methods of making and using the same. Specifically, the present invention relates to aminotriazolopyridines as receptor interacting protein kinase 1 (RIPK1) inhibitors.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Apoptosis and necrosis represent two different mechanisms of cell death. Apoptosis is a highly regulated process involving the caspase family of cysteine proteases, and characterized by cellular shrinkage, chromatin condensation, and DNA degradation. In contrast, necrosis is associated with cellular and organelle swelling and plasma membrane rupture with ensuing release of intracellular contents and secondary inflammation (Kroemer et al., (2009) Cell Death Differ 16:3-11). Necrosis has been considered a passive, unregulated form of cell death; however, recent evidence indicates that some necrosis can be induced by regulated signal transduction pathways such as those mediated by receptor interacting protein kinases (RIPKs) especially in conditions where caspases are inhibited or cannot be activated efficiently (Golstein P & Kroemer G (2007) Trends Biochem. Sci. 32:37-43; Festjens et al. (2006) Biochim. Biophys. Acta 1757:1371-1387). Stimulation of the Fas and TNFR family of death domain receptors (DRs) is known to mediate apoptosis in most cell types through the activation of the extrinsic caspase pathway. In addition, in certain cells deficient for caspase-8 or treated with pan-caspase inhibitor Z-VAD, stimulation of death domain receptors (DR) causes a receptor interacting protein kinase 1 (RIPK1) dependent programmed necrotic cell death instead of apoptosis (Holler et al. (2000) Nat. Immunol. 1:489-495; Degterev et al. (2008) Nat. Chem. Biol. 4:313-321). This novel mechanism of cell death is termed “programmed necrosis” or “necroptosis” (Degterev et al., (2005) Nat Chem Biol 1:112-119).

Necroptosis can be triggered by a number of mechanisms including of TNF receptor activation, Toll-like receptor engagement, genotoxic stress and viral infection. Downstream of the various stimuli, the signaling pathway that results in necroptosis is dependent on RIPK1 and RIPK3 kinase activity. (He et al., (2009) Cell 137:1100-1111; Cho et. al., (2009) Cell 137:1112-1123; Zhang et al., (2009) Science 325:332-336).

Dysregulation of the necroptosis signaling pathway has been linked to inflammatory diseases such as macrophage necrosis in atheroscelerosis development, virus-induced inflammation, systemic inflammatory response syndrome and ethanol-induced liver injury, neurodegeneration such as detachment of the retina, ischemia, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), and Gaucher's disease (Trichonas et al., (2010) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. 107, 21695-21700; Lin et al., (2013) Cell Rep. 3, 200-210; Cho et al., (2009) Cell, 137, 1112-1123; Duprez et al., (2011) Immunity 35, 908-918; Roychowdhury et al., Hepatology 57, 1773-1783; Vandenabeele et al., (2010) Nature 10, 700-714; Vandenabeele et al., (2010) Sci. Signalling 3, 1-8; Zhang et al., (2010) Cellular & Mol. Immunology 7, 243-249; Moriwaki et al., (2013) Genes Dev. 27, 1640-1649; Ito et al., (2016) Science 353, 603-608; Vitner et al., (2014) Nature Med. 20, 204-208).

A potent, selective, small molecule inhibitor of RIPK1 activity would block RIPK1-dependent pro-inflammatory signaling and thereby provide a therapeutic benefit in inflammatory diseases characterized by increased and/or dysregulated RIPK1 kinase activity.

The present invention may be embodied in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential attributes thereof. This invention encompasses all combinations of preferred aspects and/or embodiments of the invention noted herein. It is understood that any and all embodiments of the present invention may be taken in conjunction with any other embodiment or embodiments to describe additional embodiments. It is also to be understood that each individual element of the embodiments is its own independent embodiment. Furthermore, any element of an embodiment is meant to be combined with any and all other elements from any embodiment to describe an additional embodiment.

The following are definitions of terms used in this specification and appended claims. The initial definition provided for a group or term herein applies to that group or term throughout the specification and claims, individually or as part of another group, unless otherwise indicated.

When any variable (e.g., R³) occurs more than one time in any constituent or formula for a compound, its definition at each occurrence is independent of its definition at every other occurrence. Thus, for example, if a group is shown to be substituted with 0-2 R³, then said group may optionally be substituted with up to two R³ groups and R³ at each occurrence is selected independently from the definition of R³. Also, combinations of substituents and/or variables are permissible only if such combinations result in stable compounds.

When a bond to a substituent is shown to cross a bond connecting two atoms in a ring, then such substituent may be bonded to any atom on the ring. When a substituent is listed without indicating the atom via which such substituent is bonded to the rest of the compound of a given formula, then such substituent may be bonded via any atom in such substituent. Combinations of substituents and/or variables are permissible only if such combinations result in stable compounds.

In cases wherein there are nitrogen atoms (e.g., amines) on compounds of the present invention, these can be converted to N-oxides by treatment with an oxidizing agent (e.g., MCPBA and/or hydrogen peroxides) to afford other compounds of this invention. Thus, all shown and claimed nitrogen atoms are considered to cover both the shown nitrogen and its N-oxide (N→O) derivative.

In accordance with a convention used in the art,

is used in structural formulas herein to depict the bond that is the point of attachment of the moiety or substituent to the core or backbone structure.

A dash “-” that is not between two letters or symbols is used to indicate a point of attachment for a substituent. For example, —CONH₂ is attached through the carbon atom.

The term “optionally substituted” in reference to a particular moiety of the compound of Formula (I), (II), or (III) (e.g., an optionally substituted heteroaryl group) refers to a moiety having 0, 1, 2, or more substituents. For example, “optionally substituted alkyl” encompasses both “alkyl” and “substituted alkyl” as defined below. It will be understood by those skilled in the art, with respect to any group containing one or more substituents, that such groups are not intended to introduce any substitution or substitution patterns that are sterically impractical, synthetically non-feasible and/or inherently unstable.

As used herein, the term “alkyl” or “alkylene” is intended to include both branched and straight-chain saturated aliphatic hydrocarbon groups having the specified number of carbon atoms. For example, “C₁₋₁₀ alkyl” (or alkylene), is intended to include C₁, C₂, C₃, C₄, C₅, C₆, C₇, C₈, C₉, and C₁₀ alkyl groups. Additionally, for example, “C₁-C₆ alkyl” denotes alkyl having 1 to 6 carbon atoms. Alkyl groups can be unsubstituted or substituted so that one or more of its hydrogens are replaced by another chemical group. Example alkyl groups include, but are not limited to, methyl (Me), ethyl (Et), propyl (e.g., n-propyl and isopropyl), butyl (e.g., n-butyl, isobutyl, t-butyl), pentyl (e.g., n-pentyl, isopentyl, neopentyl), and the like.

When the term “alkyl” is used together with another group, such as in “arylalkyl”, this conjunction defines with more specificity at least one of the substituents that the substituted alkyl will contain. For example, “arylalkyl” refers to a substituted alkyl group as defined above where at least one of the substituents is an aryl, such as benzyl. Thus, the term aryl(C₀₋₄)alkyl includes a substituted lower alkyl having at least one aryl substituent and also includes an aryl directly bonded to another group, i.e., aryl(C₀)alkyl. The term “heteroarylalkyl” refers to a substituted alkyl group as defined above where at least one of the substituents is a heteroaryl.

“Alkenyl” or “alkenylene” is intended to include hydrocarbon chains of either straight or branched configuration and having one or more double carbon-carbon bonds that may occur in any stable point along the chain. For example, “C₂₋₆ alkenyl” (or alkenylene), is intended to include C₂, C₃, C₄, C₅, and C₆ alkenyl groups. Examples of alkenyl include, but are not limited to, ethenyl, 1-propenyl, 2-propenyl, 2-butenyl, 3-butenyl, 2-pentenyl, 3, pentenyl, 4-pentenyl, 2-hexenyl, 3-hexenyl, 4-hexenyl, 5-hexenyl, 2-methyl-2-propenyl, 4-methyl-3-pentenyl, and the like.

“Alkynyl” or “alkynylene” is intended to include hydrocarbon chains of either straight or branched configuration and having one or more triple carbon-carbon bonds that may occur in any stable point along the chain. For example, “C₂₋₆ alkynyl” (or alkynylene), is intended to include C₂, C₃, C₄, C₅, and C₆ alkynyl groups; such as ethynyl, propynyl, butynyl, pentynyl, hexynyl and the like.

When reference is made to a substituted alkenyl, alkynyl, alkylene, alkenylene, or alkynylene group, these groups are substituted with one to three substituents as defined above for substituted alkyl groups.

The term “alkoxy” refers to an oxygen atom substituted by alkyl or substituted alkyl, as defined herein. For example, the term “alkoxy” includes the group —O—C₁₋₆alkyl such as methoxy, ethoxy, propoxy, isopropoxy, n-butoxy, sec-butoxy, tert-butoxy, pentoxy, 2-pentyloxy, isopentoxy, neopentoxy, hexoxy, 2-hexoxy, 3-hexoxy, 3-methylpentoxy, and the like. “Lower alkoxy” refers to alkoxy groups having one to four carbons.

It should be understood that the selections for all groups, including for example, alkoxy, thioalkyl, and aminoalkyl, will be made by one skilled in the field to provide stable compounds.

The term “substituted”, as used herein, means that any one or more hydrogens on the designated atom or group is replaced with a selection from the indicated group, provided that the designated atom's normal valence is not exceeded. When a substituent is oxo, or keto, (i.e., ═O) then 2 hydrogens on the atom are replaced. Keto substituents are not present on aromatic moieties. Unless otherwise specified, substituents are named into the core structure. For example, it is to be understood that when (cycloalkyl)alkyl is listed as a possible substituent, the point of attachment of this substituent to the core structure is in the alkyl portion. Ring double bonds, as used herein, are double bonds that are formed between two adjacent ring atoms (e.g., C═C, C═N, or N═N).

Combinations of substituents and/or variables are permissible only if such combinations result in stable compounds or useful synthetic intermediates. A stable compound or stable structure is meant to imply a compound that is sufficiently robust to survive isolation from a reaction mixture to a useful degree of purity, and subsequent formulation into an efficacious therapeutic agent. It is preferred that the presently recited compounds do not contain a N-halo, S(O)₂H, or S(O)H group.

The term “carbocyclyl” or “carbocyclic” refers to a saturated or unsaturated, or partially unsaturated, monocyclic or bicyclic ring in which all atoms of all rings are carbon. Thus, the term includes cycloalkyl and aryl rings. Monocyclic carbocycles have 3 to 6 ring atoms, still more typically 5 or 6 ring atoms. Bicyclic carbocycles have 7 to 12 ring atoms, e.g., arranged as a bicyclo [4,5], [5,5], [5,6] or [6,6] system, or 9 or 10 ring atoms arranged as a bicyclo [5,6] or [6,6] system. Examples of such carbocycles include, but are not limited to, cyclopropyl, cyclobutyl, cyclobutenyl, cyclopentyl, cyclopentenyl, cyclohexyl, cycloheptenyl, cycloheptyl, cycloheptenyl, adamantyl, cyclooctyl, cyclooctenyl, cyclooctadienyl, [3.3.0]bicyclooctane, [4.3.0]bicyclononane, [4.4.0]bicyclodecane, [2.2.2]bicyclooctane, fluorenyl, phenyl, naphthyl, indanyl, adamantyl, anthracenyl, and tetrahydronaphthyl (tetralin). As shown above, bridged rings are also included in the definition of carbocycle (e.g., [2.2.2]bicyclooctane). Carbocycles, can include cyclopropyl, cyclobutyl, cyclopentyl, cyclohexyl, and phenyl. When the term “carbocycle” is used, it is intended to include “aryl”. A bridged ring occurs when one or more carbon atoms link two non-adjacent carbon atoms. Preferred bridges are one or two carbon atoms. It is noted that a bridge always converts a monocyclic ring into a bicyclic ring. When a ring is bridged, the substituents recited for the ring may also be present on the bridge.

The term “aryl” refers to monocyclic or bicyclic aromatic hydrocarbon groups having 6 to 12 carbon atoms in the ring portion, such as phenyl, and naphthyl groups, each of which may be substituted. A preferred aryl group is optionally-substituted phenyl.

The term “cycloalkyl” refers to cyclized alkyl groups, including mono-, bi- or poly-cyclic ring systems. C₃₋₇ cycloalkyl is intended to include C₃, C₄, C₅, C₆, and C₇ cycloalkyl groups. Example cycloalkyl groups include, but are not limited to, cyclopropyl, cyclobutyl, cyclopentyl, cyclohexyl, norbornyl, and the like, which optionally may be substituted at any available atoms of the ring(s).

The terms “heterocycloalkyl”, “heterocyclo”, “heterocyclic”, or “heterocyclyl” may be used interchangeably and refer to substituted and unsubstituted non-aromatic 3-to 7-membered monocyclic groups, 7-to 11-membered bicyclic groups, and 10-to 15-membered tricyclic groups, in which at least one of the rings has at least one heteroatom (O, S or N), said heteroatom containing ring preferably having 1, 2, or 3 heteroatoms selected from O, S, and N. Each ring of such a group containing a heteroatom can contain one or two oxygen or sulfur atoms and/or from one to four nitrogen atoms provided that the total number of heteroatoms in each ring is four or less, and further provided that the ring contains at least one carbon atom. The nitrogen and sulfur atoms may optionally be oxidized and the nitrogen atoms may optionally be quaternized. The fused rings completing the bicyclic and tricyclic groups may contain only carbon atoms and may be saturated, partially saturated, or unsaturated. The heterocyclo group may be attached at any available nitrogen or carbon atom. The term “heterocycle” includes “heteroaryl” groups. As valence allows, if said further ring is cycloalkyl or heterocyclo it is additionally optionally substituted with ═O (oxo).

Exemplary monocyclic heterocyclyl groups include azetidinyl, pyrrolidinyl, oxetanyl, imidazolinyl, oxazolidinyl, isoxazolinyl, thiazolidinyl, isothiazolidinyl, tetrahydrofuranyl, piperidyl, piperazinyl, 2-oxopiperazinyl, 2-oxopiperidyl, 2-oxopyrrolodinyl, 2-oxoazepinyl, azepinyl, 1-pyridonyl, 4-piperidonyl, tetrahydropyranyl, morpholinyl, thiamorpholinyl, thiamorpholinyl sulfoxide, thiamorpholinyl sulfone, 1,3-dioxolane and tetrahydro-1,1-dioxothienyl and the like.

Each ring of the heteroaryl group containing a heteroatom can contain one or two oxygen or sulfur atoms and/or from one to four nitrogen atoms provided that the total number of heteroatoms in each ring is four or less and each ring has at least one carbon atom. The fused rings completing the bicyclic and tricyclic groups may contain only carbon atoms and may be saturated, partially saturated, or unsaturated. The nitrogen and sulfur atoms may optionally be oxidized and the nitrogen atoms may optionally be quaternized. Heteroaryl groups which are bicyclic or tricyclic must include at least one fully aromatic ring but the other fused ring or rings may be aromatic or non-aromatic. The heteroaryl group may be attached at any available nitrogen or carbon atom of any ring. As valence allows, if said further ring is cycloalkyl or heterocyclo it is additionally optionally substituted with ═O (oxo).

Exemplary monocyclic heteroaryl groups include pyrrolyl, pyrazolyl, pyrazolinyl, imidazolyl, oxazolyl, isoxazolyl, thiazolyl, thiadiazolyl, isothiazolyl, furanyl, thienyl, oxadiazolyl, pyridyl, pyrazinyl, pyrimidinyl, pyridazinyl, triazinyl and the like.

One skilled in the field will understand that, when the designation “CO₂” is used herein, this is intended to refer to the group

Throughout the specification, groups and substituents thereof may be chosen by one skilled in the field to provide stable moieties and compounds and compounds useful as pharmaceutically-acceptable compounds and/or intermediate compounds useful in making pharmaceutically-acceptable compounds.

The compounds of formula (I)-(IX) may exist in a free form (with no ionization) or can form salts which are also within the scope of this invention. Unless otherwise indicated, reference to an inventive compound is understood to include reference to the free form and to salts thereof. The term “salt(s)” denotes acidic and/or basic salts formed with inorganic and/or organic acids and bases. In addition, the term “salt(s) may include zwitterions (inner salts), e.g., when a compound of formula (I)-(IX) contains both a basic moiety, such as an amine or a pyridine or imidazole ring, and an acidic moiety, such as a carboxylic acid. Pharmaceutically acceptable (i.e., non-toxic, physiologically acceptable) salts are preferred, such as, for example, acceptable metal and amine salts in which the cation does not contribute significantly to the toxicity or biological activity of the salt. However, other salts may be useful, e.g., in isolation or purification steps which may be employed during preparation, and thus, are contemplated within the scope of the invention. Salts of the compounds of the formula (I)-(IX) may be formed, for example, by reacting a compound of the formula (I)-(IX) with an amount of acid or base, such as an equivalent amount, in a medium such as one in which the salt precipitates or in an aqueous medium followed by lyophilization.

Exemplary acid addition salts include acetates (such as those formed with acetic acid or trihaloacetic acid, for example, trifluoroacetic acid), adipates, alginates, ascorbates, aspartates, benzoates, benzenesulfonates, bisulfates, borates, butyrates, citrates, camphorates, camphorsulfonates, cyclopentanepropionates, digluconates, dodecylsulfates, ethanesulfonates, fumarates, glucoheptanoates, glycerophosphates, hemisulfates, heptanoates, hexanoates, hydrochlorides (formed with hydrochloric acid), hydrobromides (formed with hydrogen bromide), hydroiodides, 2-hydroxyethanesulfonates, lactates, maleates (formed with maleic acid), methanesulfonates (formed with methanesulfonic acid), 2-naphthalenesulfonates, nicotinates, nitrates, oxalates, pectinates, persulfates, 3-phenylpropionates, phosphates, picrates, pivalates, propionates, salicylates, succinates, sulfates (such as those formed with sulfuric acid), sulfonates (such as those mentioned herein), tartrates, thiocyanates, toluenesulfonates such as tosylates, undecanoates, and the like.

Exemplary basic salts include ammonium salts, alkali metal salts such as sodium, lithium, and potassium salts; alkaline earth metal salts such as calcium and magnesium salts; barium, zinc, and aluminum salts; salts with organic bases (for example, organic amines) such as trialkylamines such as triethylamine, procaine, dibenzylamine, N-benzyl-β-phenethylamine, 1-ephenamine, N,N′-dibenzylethylene-diamine, dehydroabietylamine, N-ethylpiperidine, benzylamine, dicyclohexylamine or similar pharmaceutically acceptable amines and salts with amino acids such as arginine, lysine and the like.

In one embodiment, salts include monohydrochloride, hydrogensulfate, methanesulfonate, phosphate or nitrate salts.

The phrase “pharmaceutically acceptable” is employed herein to refer to those compounds, materials, compositions, and/or dosage forms which are, within the scope of sound medical judgment, suitable for use in contact with the tissues of human beings and animals without excessive toxicity, irritation, allergic response, or other problem or complication, commensurate with a reasonable benefit/risk ratio.

As used herein, “pharmaceutically acceptable salts” refer to derivatives of the disclosed compounds wherein the parent compound is modified by making acid or base salts thereof. Examples of pharmaceutically acceptable salts include, but are not limited to, mineral or organic acid salts of basic groups such as amines; and alkali or organic salts of acidic groups such as carboxylic acids. The pharmaceutically acceptable salts include the conventional non-toxic salts or the quaternary ammonium salts of the parent compound formed, for example, from non-toxic inorganic or organic acids. For example, such conventional non-toxic salts include those derived from inorganic acids such as hydrochloric, hydrobromic, sulfuric, sulfamic, phosphoric, and nitric; and the salts prepared from organic acids such as acetic, propionic, succinic, glycolic, stearic, lactic, malic, tartaric, citric, ascorbic, pamoic, maleic, hydroxymaleic, phenylacetic, glutamic, benzoic, salicylic, sulfanilic, 2-acetoxybenzoic, fumaric, toluenesulfonic, methanesulfonic, ethane disulfonic, oxalic, and isethionic, and the like.

The pharmaceutically acceptable salts of the present invention can be synthesized from the parent compound which contains a basic or acidic moiety by conventional chemical methods. Generally, such salts can be prepared by reacting the free acid or base forms of these compounds with a stoichiometric amount of the appropriate base or acid in water or in an organic solvent, or in a mixture of the two; generally, nonaqueous media like ether, ethyl acetate, ethanol, isopropanol, or acetonitrile are preferred. Lists of suitable salts are found in Remington's Pharmaceutical Sciences, 18th ed., Mack Publishing Company, Easton, Pa., 1990, the disclosure of which is hereby incorporated by reference.

All stereoisomers of the compounds of the instant invention are contemplated, either in admixture or in pure or substantially pure form. Stereoisomers may include compounds which are optical isomers through possession of one or more chiral atoms, as well as compounds which are optical isomers by virtue of limited rotation about one or more bonds (atropisomers). The definition of compounds according to the invention embraces all the possible stereoisomers and their mixtures. It very particularly embraces the racemic forms and the isolated optical isomers having the specified activity. The racemic forms can be resolved by physical methods, such as, for example, fractional crystallization, separation or crystallization of diastereomeric derivatives or separation by chiral column chromatography. The individual optical isomers can be obtained from the racemates from the conventional methods, such as, for example, salt formation with an optically active acid followed by crystallization.

The present invention is intended to include all isotopes of atoms occurring in the present compounds. Isotopes include those atoms having the same atomic number but different mass numbers. By way of general example and without limitation, isotopes of hydrogen include deuterium and tritium. Isotopes of carbon include ¹³C and ¹⁴C. Isotopically-labeled compounds of the invention can generally be prepared by conventional techniques known to those skilled in the art or by processes analogous to those described herein, using an appropriate isotopically-labeled reagent in place of the non-labeled reagent otherwise employed.

Prodrugs and solvates of the inventive compounds are also contemplated. The term “prodrug” denotes a compound which, upon administration to a subject, undergoes chemical conversion by metabolic or chemical processes to yield a compound of the formula (I), and/or a salt and/or solvate thereof. Any compound that will be converted in vivo to provide the bioactive agent (i.e., the compound for formula (I)) is a prodrug within the scope and spirit of the invention. For example, amide NH moieties can be substituted with (phosphonooxy)alkylene, ((phosphonooxy)alkylcarbonyloxy)alkylene, ((amino)alkylcarbonyloxy)alkylene, ((amino)cycloalkylcarbonyloxy)alkylene, ((((phophonooxy)alkyl)carbonyloxy)alkyl)oxycarbonyl ((((phophonooxy)cycloalkyl)carbonyloxy)alkyl)oxycarbonyl; ((((amino)alkyl)carbonyloxy)alkyl)oxycarbonyl, ((((amino)cycloalkyl)carbonyloxy)alkyl)oxycarbonyl, and substituted ((((phosphonooxy)benzoyl)alkyl)oxycarbonyl substituents. Additionally, compounds containing a carboxy group can form physiologically hydrolyzable esters which serve as prodrugs by being hydrolyzed in the body to yield formula (I) compounds per se. Such prodrugs are preferably administered orally since hydrolysis in many instances occurs principally under the influence of the digestive enzymes. Parenteral administration may be used where the ester per se is active, or in those instances where hydrolysis occurs in the blood. Examples of physiologically hydrolyzable esters of compounds of formula (I) include C₁₋₆alkylbenzyl, 4-methoxybenzyl, indanyl, phthalyl, methoxymethyl, C₁₋₆alkanoyloxy-C₁₋₆alkyl, e.g. acetoxymethyl, pivaloyloxymethyl or propionyloxymethyl, C₁₋₆alkoxycarbonyloxy-C₁₋₆alkyl, e.g. methoxycarbonyl-oxymethyl or ethoxycarbonyloxymethyl, glycyloxymethyl, phenylglycyloxymethyl, (5-methyl-2-oxo-1,3-dioxolen-4-yl)-methyl and other well known physiologically hydrolyzable esters used, for example, in the penicillin and cephalosporin arts. Such esters may be prepared by conventional techniques known in the art.

Various forms of prodrugs are well known in the art. For examples of such prodrug derivatives, see:

a) Design of Prodrugs, edited by H. Bundgaard, (Elsevier, 1985) and Methods in Enzymology, Vol. 112, pp. 309-396, edited by K. Widder, et al. (Academic Press, 1985);

Compounds of the formula (I) and salts thereof may exist in their tautomeric form, in which hydrogen atoms are transposed to other parts of the molecules and the chemical bonds between the atoms of the molecules are consequently rearranged. It should be understood that the all tautomeric forms, insofar as they may exist, are included within the invention.

Compounds of this invention may have one or more asymmetric centers. Unless otherwise indicated, all chiral (enantiomeric and diastereomeric) and racemic forms of compounds of the present invention are included in the present invention. Many geometric isomers of olefins, C═N double bonds, and the like can also be present in the compounds, and all such stable isomers are contemplated in the present invention. Cis and trans geometric isomers of the compounds of the present invention are described and may be isolated as a mixture of isomers or as separated isomeric forms. The present compounds can be isolated in optically active or racemic forms. It is well known in the art how to prepare optically active forms, such as by resolution of racemic forms or by synthesis from optically active starting materials. All chiral, (enantiomeric and diastereomeric) and racemic forms and all geometric isomeric forms of a structure are intended, unless the specific stereochemistry or isomer form is specifically indicated. All geometric isomers, tautomers, atropisomers, hydrates, solvates, polymorphs, and isotopically labeled forms of the compounds referred to herein, and mixtures thereof, are considered within the scope of the present invention. Methods of solvation are generally known in the art.

When the terms “RIPK1-associated condition” or “RIPK1-associated disease or disorder” are used herein, each is intended to encompass all of the conditions identified above as if repeated at length, as well as any other condition that is affected by RIPK1 kinase activity.

The present invention thus provides methods for treating such conditions, comprising administering to a subject in need thereof a therapeutically-effective amount of at least one compound of Formula (I)-(IX) or a salt thereof “Therapeutically effective amount” is intended to include an amount of a compound of the present invention that is effective when administered alone or in combination to inhibit RIPK1.

The present invention also provides pharmaceutical compositions capable of treating RIPK1 kinase-associated conditions, including IL-1, IL-6, IL-8, IFNγ and TNF-α-mediated conditions, as described above.

The inventive compositions may contain other therapeutic agents as described above and may be formulated, for example, by employing conventional solid or liquid vehicles or diluents, as well as pharmaceutical additives of a type appropriate to the mode of desired administration (e.g., excipients, binders, preservatives, stabilizers, flavors, etc.) according to techniques such as those well known in the art of pharmaceutical formulation.

Accordingly, the present invention further includes compositions comprising one or more compounds of Formula (I)-(IX) and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier.

A “pharmaceutically acceptable carrier” refers to media generally accepted in the art for the delivery of biologically active agents to animals, in particular, mammals. Pharmaceutically acceptable carriers are formulated according to a number of factors well within the purview of those of ordinary skill in the art. These include without limitation the type and nature of the active agent being formulated; the subject to which the agent-containing composition is to be administered; the intended route of administration of the composition; and, the therapeutic indication being targeted. Pharmaceutically acceptable carriers include both aqueous and non-aqueous liquid media, as well as a variety of solid and semi-solid dosage forms. Such carriers can include a number of different ingredients and additives in addition to the active agent, such additional ingredients being included in the formulation for a variety of reasons, e.g., stabilization of the active agent, binders, etc., well known to those of ordinary skill in the art. Descriptions of suitable pharmaceutically acceptable carriers, and factors involved in their selection, are found in a variety of readily available sources such as, for example, Remington's Pharmaceutical Sciences, 17th ed., 1985, which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.

The compounds of Formula (I)-(IX) may be administered by any means suitable for the condition to be treated, which may depend on the need for site-specific treatment or quantity of drug to be delivered. Topical administration is generally preferred for skin-related diseases, and systematic treatment preferred for cancerous or pre-cancerous conditions, although other modes of delivery are contemplated. For example, the compounds may be delivered orally, such as in the form of tablets, capsules, granules, powders, or liquid formulations including syrups; topically, such as in the form of solutions, suspensions, gels or ointments; sublingually; bucally; parenterally, such as by subcutaneous, intravenous, intramuscular or intrasternal injection or infusion techniques (e.g., as sterile injectable aq. or non-aq. solutions or suspensions); nasally such as by inhalation spray; topically, such as in the form of a cream or ointment; rectally such as in the form of suppositories; or liposomally. Dosage unit formulations containing non-toxic, pharmaceutically acceptable vehicles or diluents may be administered. The compounds may be administered in a form suitable for immediate release or extended release. Immediate release or extended release may be achieved with suitable pharmaceutical compositions or, particularly in the case of extended release, with devices such as subcutaneous implants or osmotic pumps.

Exemplary compositions for topical administration include a topical carrier such as PLASTIBASE® (mineral oil gelled with polyethylene).

Exemplary compositions for oral administration include suspensions which may contain, for example, microcrystalline cellulose for imparting bulk, alginic acid or sodium alginate as a suspending agent, methylcellulose as a viscosity enhancer, and sweeteners or flavoring agents such as those known in the art; and immediate release tablets which may contain, for example, microcrystalline cellulose, dicalcium phosphate, starch, magnesium stearate and/or lactose and/or other excipients, binders, extenders, disintegrants, diluents and lubricants such as those known in the art.

Exemplary compositions may include fast-dissolving diluents such as mannitol, lactose, sucrose, and/or cyclodextrins. Also included in such formulations may be high molecular weight excipients such as celluloses (AVICEL®) or polyethylene glycols (PEG); an excipient to aid mucosal adhesion such as hydroxypropyl cellulose (HPC), hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose (HPMC), sodium carboxymethyl cellulose (SCMC), and/or maleic anhydride copolymer (e.g., GANTREZ®); and agents to control release such as polyacrylic copolymer (e.g., CARBOPOL 934®). Lubricants, glidants, flavors, coloring agents and stabilizers may also be added for ease of fabrication and use.

Exemplary compositions for nasal aerosol or inhalation administration include solutions which may contain, for example, benzyl alcohol or other suitable preservatives, absorption promoters to enhance absorption and/or bioavailability, and/or other solubilizing or dispersing agents such as those known in the art.

Exemplary compositions for parenteral administration include injectable solutions or suspensions which may contain, for example, suitable non-toxic, parenterally acceptable diluents or solvents, such as mannitol, 1,3-butanediol, water, Ringer's solution, an isotonic sodium chloride solution, or other suitable dispersing or wetting and suspending agents, including synthetic mono- or diglycerides, and fatty acids, including oleic acid.

Exemplary compositions for rectal administration include suppositories which may contain, for example, suitable non-irritating excipients, such as cocoa butter, synthetic glyceride esters or polyethylene glycols, which are solid at ordinary temperatures but liquefy and/or dissolve in the rectal cavity to release the drug.

The therapeutically-effective amount of a compound of the present invention may be determined by one of ordinary skill in the art, and includes exemplary dosage amounts for a mammal of from about 0.05 to 1000 mg/kg; 1-1000 mg/kg; 1-50 mg/kg; 5-250 mg/kg; 250-1000 mg/kg of body weight of active compound per day, which may be administered in a single dose or in the form of individual divided doses, such as from 1 to 4 times per day. It will be understood that the specific dose level and frequency of dosage for any particular subject may be varied and will depend upon a variety of factors, including the activity of the specific compound employed, the metabolic stability and length of action of that compound, the species, age, body weight, general health, sex and diet of the subject, the mode and time of administration, rate of excretion, drug combination, and severity of the particular condition. Preferred subjects for treatment include animals, most preferably mammalian species such as humans, and domestic animals such as dogs, cats, horses, and the like. Thus, when the term “patient” is used herein, this term is intended to include all subjects, most preferably mammalian species, that are affected by mediation of RIPK1 enzyme levels.

HT29-L23 human colorectal adenocarcinoma cells were maintained in RPMI 1640 medium containing 10% heat-inactivated FBS, 1% Pennicilin-Streptomycin and 10 mM HEPES. Cells were seeded at 2,000 cells/well in 384w tissue culture-treated microplates (Greiner #781090-3B) and incubated at 37° C. (5% CO₂/95% O₂) for two days. On the day of assay, the cells were treated with test compounds at final concentrations of 6.25 to 0.106 μM for 30 min at 37° C. (5% CO₂/95% O₂). Necroptopsis was induced using a mixture of human TNFα (35 ng/mL) (Peprotech #300-01A), SMAC mimetic (from US 2015/0322111 A1) (700 nM) and Z-VAD (140 nM) (BD pharmingen #51-6936). Following six hours incubation at 37° C. (5% CO₂/95% O₂), the cells were fixed with 4% formaldedye (ACROS 11969-0010) for 15 min at room temperature and then permeabilized with phoshpate buffered saline (PBS) containing 0.2% Triton-X-100 for 10 min. MLKL phosporylation was detected using anti-MLKL (phospho S358) antibody (Abcam #ab187091) (1:1000 dilution in Blocking Buffer [PBS supplemented with 0.1% BSA]) with overnight incubation at 4° C. After washing three times in PBS, goat anti-rabbit Alexa-488 (1:1000 dilution) (Life Technologies, A11008) and Hoechst 33342 (Life Technologies, H3570) (1:2000 dilution) in Blocking Buffer were added for 1 h at room temperature. Following another three cycles of washes in PBS, the microplates were sealed, and cellular images were acquired in the Cellomics ArrayScan VTI high-content imager equipped with an X1 camera. Fluorescent images were taken using a 10× objective and the 386-23 BGRFRN_BGRFRN and 485-20 BGRFRN_BGRFRN filter sets, for nuclei and MLKL phosphorylation, respectively. The image sets were analyzed using the Compartmental Analysis Bioapplication software (Cellomics). The level of MLKL phosphorylation was quantified as MEAN CircRingAvgIntenRatio. The maximal inhibitory response was defined by the activity induced by Nec1s (CAS #: 852391-15-2, 6.25 μM). The IC50 value was defined as the concentration of compound that produces 50% of the maximal inhibition. The data were fitted using the 4-parameter logistic equation to calculate the IC50 and Ymax values.

RIPK1 HTRF Binding Assay

A solution was prepared containing 0.2 nM Anti GST-Tb (Cisbio, 61GSTTLB), 90.6 nM probe and 1 nM His-GST-TVMV-hRIPK1(1-324) in FRET Buffer (20 mM HEPES, 10 mM MgCl_(2, 0.015)% Brij-35, 4 mM DTT, 0.05 mg/mL BSA). Using Formulatrix Tempest, the detection antibody/enzyme/probe solution (2 μL) was dispensed into wells of a 1536 plate (Black Low Binding Polystyrene 1536 Plate (Corning, 3724)) containing 10 nL of compounds of interest at appropriate concentration in DMSO. The plate was incubated at rt for 1 h. FRET was measured using the EnVision plate reader (Excitation: 340 nM, Emission: 520 nM/495 nM). Total signal (0% inhibition) was calculated from wells containing 10 nL DMSO only. Blank signal (100% inhibition) calculated from wells containing 10 nL of 15 nM staurosporine and internal controls.

Cloning and Baculovirus Expression of RIPK1 Construct

The coding region of human RIPK1(1-324) flanked by NdeI site at 5′ end and stop codon TGA and XhoI site at 3′ end was codon optimized and gene synthesized at GenScript USA Inc. (Piscataway, N.J.) and subcloned into a modified pFastBacl vector (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, Calif.) with N-terminal His-GST-TVMV tag, to generate His-GST-TVMV-hRIPK1(1-324)-pFB. The fidelity of the synthetic fragment was confirmed by sequencing.

Baculovirus was generated for the construct using the Bac-to-Bac baculovirus expression system (Invitrogen) according to the manufacturer's protocol. Briefly, recombinant bacmid was isolated from transformed DH10Bac E. coli competent cells (Invitrogen) and used to transfect Spodoptera frugiperda (Sf9) insect cells (Invitrogen). Baculovirus was harvested 72 hours post transfection and a virus stock was prepared by infecting fresh Sf9 cells at a 1/1000 (v/v) ratio for 66 hours.

For large scale protein production, Sf9 cells (Expression System, Davis, Calif.) grown in ESF921 insect medium (Expression System) at 2×106 cells/ml were infected with virus stock at a 1/100 (v/v) ratio for 66 hours. The production was carried out either at a 10 L scale in a 22 L cellbag (GE Healthcare Bioscience, Pittsburgh, Pa.) or at a 20 L scale in a 50 L cellbag using WAVE-Bioreactor System 20/50 (GE Healthcare Bioscience). The infected cells were harvested by centrifugation at 2000 rpm for 20 min at 4° C. in a SORVALL® RC12BP centrifuge. The cell pellets was stored at −70° C. before protein was purified.

Purification of His-GST-TVMV-hRIPK1(1-324)

RIPK1 containing cell paste was resuspended in 50 mM Tris pH 7.5, 150 mM NaCl, 10 mM imidazole, 5% glycerol, 5 mM MgSO₄, 1 mM TCEP, 25 U/ml Benzonase, and Complete Protease Inhibitor tablets (1/50 ml, Roche Diagnostics, Indianapolis, Ind.). The cells were lysed by nitrogen cavitation using an unstirred pressure vessel @ 525 PSI (Parr Instrument Company, Moline, Ill.). The suspension was clarified by centrifugation at 136,000×g for 40 min, at 4° C. The lysate was decanted from the pellet and passed through a 5 ml NiNTA Superflow cartridge (Qiagen, Valencia, Calif.) using an AKTA Pure (GE Healthcare). Column was eluted with 10 CV linear gradient into 50 mM Tris 7.5, 150 mM NaCl, 500 mM imidazole, 5% glycerol, 1 mM TCEP. Peak fractions were pooled and loaded directly onto 5 ml GSTrap 4B column (GE Healthcare). Column was washed with 50 mM Tris 7.0, 150 mM NaCl, 5% glycerol, 1 mM DTT and eluted in 10 CV linear gradient into 50 mM Tris 8.0, 150 mM NaCl, 20 mM reduced glutathione, 5% glycerol, 1 mM DTT. Fractions identified by SDS-PAGE as containing RIPK1 were pooled and concentrated using 30 kDa MWCO spin concentrators (Amicon Ultra-15, Millipore, Billerica, Mass.) and loaded onto a HiLoad 26/600 Superdex 200 column (GE Healthcare) equilibrated in 25 mM Tris 7.5, 150 mM NaCl, 2 mM TCEP, 5% glycerol. The RIPK1 protein eluted as a dimer off the SEC column.

The yield was ˜8 mg/L with a purity >95% as determined by Coomassie staind SDS-PAGE gel analysis. LCMS analysis of the protein showed that the protein had lost the N-terminal methionine, had one phosphorylated site, and was partially acetylated. Protein was aliquotted and stored at −80° C.

Using these assays, the IC₅₀ values of the following compounds were determined. See Table A.

TNF-Induced Systemic Inflammatory Response Syndrome (SIRS)

RIPK1 inhibitors were evaluated for efficacy in vivo using a TNF-dependent model of systemic “shock”, also known as systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) (Duprez et al. 2011, Immunity 35(6):908-918). Intravenous injection of murine TNF induces a systemic inflammatory response characterized by a decrease in body temperature and an increase in circulating cytokines (IL-6, KC) in the serum. The addition of zVAD-fmk strongly sensitizes mice to TNF-induced shock through the inhibition of caspases (Cauwels et al., 2003). The combination of pretreatment with zVAD-fmk prior to injection of mTNF forms the basis of the RIPK1-dependent, TNF-induced, inflammatory response in this model.

Female C57/Bl6 mice (9 to 11 weeks old) were obtained from Jackson Labs (Bar Harbor, Me.). Mice were housed in BMS' animal facility with ad libitum access to food and water. Mice were and allowed to acclimate for at least 2 weeks and typically weighed at least 21 grams before being used in any studies. Group size was 6 mice per treatment. All experiments were conducted with the approval of BMS' Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee (IACUC)

Program compounds were dosed by oral gavage 2 h before IV challenge with 20 μg of murine TNF (#CRT192C, Cell Sciences, Canton, Mass.). zVAD-fmk (16.7 mg/kg) was given IV, 15 min before mTNF injection. The RIPK1 kinase inhibitor, necrostatin-1s (Nec-1s) was used as a positive control and was dosed at 6 mg/kg, IV, 30 minutes before mTNF challenge. mTNF was diluted in endotoxin-free PBS and 20 μg/mouse was injected in a volume of 0.1 ml into the retro-orbital sinus. All IV injections were done via the retro-orbital sinus and injection sites were alternated (left and right sides).

Three (3) hours after mTNF injection, mice were assessed for hypothermia and mortality. Rectal body temperature was recorded with an electric thermometer (Acorn Series Model JKT with a Ret-3 probe, Oakton Instruments Vernon Hills Ill. 60061).

Blood samples for PK determination were collected into heparinized microtainer blood tubes (Part #365965, Becton Dickinson, Franklin Lakes N.J.) and mixed well. Dried blood spots (DBS) were prepared by pipetting 10 μl of whole blood, in duplicate, onto bioanalysis cards (#GR2261004, Perkin Elmer, Greenville, S.C.). A serum sample was obtained by collecting blood into a separator tube (#450472, Greiner Bio-One, Austria) and centrifuged (10 min at 10,000 RPM) to separate the serum. All blood samples were obtained from the retro-orbital sinus while under isoflurane anesthesia.

Serum ctokines were evaluated by ELISA assay. IL-6 was measured using OPTeia Kit (Becton Dickinson, Franklin Lakes N.J.) while KC was measured using an R&D Duoset kit (R&D Systems Inc. Minneapolis, Minn.)

Using these assays, the percent protection of body temperature and percent reduction in IL6 cytokine of the following compounds were determined. See Table B. % Protection is relative to a 6 mg/kg dose of Nec-1s (5-((7-Cl-1H-indol-3-yl)methyl)-3-methylimidazolidine-2,4-dione)).

The compounds of the present invention may be synthesized by many methods available to those skilled in the art of organic chemistry (Maffrand, J. P. et al., Heterocycles, 16(1):35-7 (1981)). General synthetic schemes for preparing compounds of the present invention are described below. These schemes are illustrative and are not meant to limit the possible techniques one skilled in the art may use to prepare the compounds disclosed herein. The numbering of R groups within the scheme are for illustrative purposes and are not intended to limit the claims. Different methods to prepare the compounds of the present invention will be evident to those skilled in the art. Additionally, the various steps in the synthesis may be performed in an alternate sequence in order to give the desired compound or compounds.

Examples of compounds of the present invention prepared by methods described in the general schemes are given in the intermediates and examples section set out hereinafter. Example compounds are typically prepared as racemic mixtures. Preparation of homochiral examples may be carried out by techniques known to one skilled in the art. For example, homochiral compounds may be prepared by separation of racemic products by chiral phase preparative HPLC. Alternatively, the example compounds may be prepared by methods known to give enantiomerically enriched products. These include, but are not limited to, the incorporation of chiral auxiliary functionalities into racemic intermediates which serve to control the diastereoselectivity of transformations, providing enantio-enriched products upon cleavage of the chiral auxiliary.

Scheme 1 illustrates an approach to the synthesis of compounds exemplified by 4. Functionalization of starting material 1 can be achieved through a Suzuki coupling reaction (Miyaura, N. and Suzuki, A. Chemical Reviews, 95:2457-2483, 1995) to provide compounds of the type exemplified by 2. Hydrolysis of the ester in 2 yields a carboxylic acid or carboxylate salt which can be functionalized by amidation (Tetrahedron, 61:10827-10852, 2005) to yield compounds such as 4. Appropriate functionalization of intermediates used in this invention to prepare compounds similar to 4 can be achieved through the Suzuki reaction or simple reactions known to those in the art.

Scheme 2 illustrates an alternative method to access intermediate 2. In this scenario, a bromopyridine such as 5 can undergo in situ conversion to the boronate. Addition of 1 and aqueous base allows the second coupling to occur. Importantly, this method to access 2 can also be run in reverse. Specifically, 1 can undergo in situ conversion to the boronate and then undergo coupling with bromide 5 to produce intermediates exemplified by 2.

Scheme 3 details an alternative preparation of compounds characterized by 4. Carboxylic acid 6 can undergo amidation chemistry under various conditions known to those skilled in the art to yield intermediates like 7. Intermediates such as 7 can undergo in situ conversion to a boronate, followed by coupling with 1 to produce compounds similar to 4. Alternatively, compound 1 can undergo in situ conversion to the boronate, followed by coupling with 7 to produce compounds such as 4.

Scheme 4 details another alternative preparation for compounds similar to 4. Boronate esters such as 8 can behydrolyzed to their acid counterparts. The carboxylic acids can undergo amidation under a variety of conditions known to those skilled in the art to yield compounds such as 10. Suzuki coupling with 1 produces compounds similar to 4.

Purification of intermediates and final products was carried out via either normal or reverse phase chromatography. Normal phase chromatography using an Isco Rf or Isco Companion was carried out using prepacked SiO2 cartridges eluting with either gradients of hexanes and ethyl acetate or dichloromethane and methanol unless otherwise indicated.

99A: 1-(2-Fluoro-5-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)ethanamine: A solution of 1-(2-fluoro-5-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)ethanone (805 mg, 3.91 mmol), ammonium acetate (3010 mg, 39.1 mmol) and sodium cyanoborohydride (294 mg, 4.69 mmol) in ethanol (18 mL) was stirred at rt for 3 d. 0

The reaction mixture was concentrated to a thick oily residue. The residue was partitioned between EtOAc (50 mL) and saturated sodium bicarbonate solution 40 (mL). The organic layer was washed with water (15 mL) and brine (15 mL). After drying over anhydrous sodium sulfate and filtration, the organic layer was concentrated to afford 1-(2-fluoro-5-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)ethanamine (777 mg, 3.19 mmol, 82% yield) as an amber oil. The crude product was used as is in subsequent chemistry.

99: A mixture of 82B (32 mg, 0.119 mmol), BOP (79 mg, 0.178 mmol), 1-(2-fluoro-5-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)ethanamine (24.62 mg, 0.119 mmol) and Hünig's Base (0.104 mL, 0.594 mmol) in DMF (1.0 mL) was stirred at rt ON. The crude material was purified via preparative LC/MS with the following conditions: Column: XBridge C18, 19×200 mm, 5-μm particles; Mobile Phase A: 5:95 acetonitrile: water with 10-mM ammonium acetate; Mobile Phase B: 95:5 acetonitrile: water with 10-mM ammonium acetate; Gradient: 15-55% B over 20 min, then a 5-min hold at 100% B; Flow: 20 mL/min. Fractions containing the desired product were combined and dried via centrifugal evaporation to

afford the racemate 5-(2-amino-[1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-a]pyridin-7-yl)-N-(1-(2-fluoro-5-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)ethyl)-2-methylnicotinamide (19.9 mg, 0.043 mmol, 36.2% yield). Subsequent chiral separation afforded first eluting enantiomer, 99-1 (7.7 mg, 0.017 mmol, 13.99% yield) and second eluting enantiomer, 99-2 (7.6 mg, 0.017 mmol, 13.95% yield).
